Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Chargers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Nobody else had Junior Colson anywhere near the Round 2 slot. The Chargers did, by 34 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. However the rest shakes out, Henderson at that price is a win they earned.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A big swing on Junior Colson at the 37th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick69 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson at pick No. 69 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at slot 106 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
They went early on Theo Johnson in Round 5, Pick 3, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick183 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
They let LaDarius Henderson come to them and pounced at the 183rd pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick223 Rnd7 Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad at slot 223 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick256 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
They reached into another round for DeMonte Capehart, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
